Purple-Orchid Kashmiri Short Kaftan with Ari-Embroidered Flowers Bud

The colour itself of this short kaftan is enough to turn heads and start conversations, owing to its source - the endemic Himalayan orchid. Few things capture the essence of the Oriental world than the endemic ari needlework perfected over generations by artisans in the Indian valley of Kashmir. Superfine needles and extensive beadwork are used to put together chain-stitch imprints.
